I had an amazing time. Daniel was a great guide—super knowledgeable and adapted the rides to my preferences. Everything was well-tailored, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Activexpedition, and I would book with them in the future.
Thanks a lot for your great review!
A giant thank you to Christian and the team. This trip was beyond my expectation. The views, the rides the support, meals and haciendas were all outstanding and a surprise was every afternoon to have a cultural or sightseeing activity to round out the day. An amazing experience!
Thank you so much for your review!
My son and I had an incredible time on this moutain biking adventure through Ecuador! It's extremly well thought out and our guide, Christian Valens was extremely knowledgeable about not only mountain biking in the region, but about Ecuadorian culture/cuisine, the South American eco-system and what makes Ecudor's different regions so unique. The week long journey takes you North for a couple days, exploring areas at lower elevation levels (after we acclimatized in Quito), then traveling South and descending from volcanos at higher elevations - Cotopaxi, Quilatoa and Chimborazo. Each day builds on the last with types of terrain, skillset and elevation - all with incredible scenery and breathtaking views. Christian and our drivers, Daniel and Jose, were extremely well coordinated and didn't miss a beat providing meals during the day, planned stops at cool spots to exeprience local food/snacks and accomodations were taken care of before hand making check-in smooth after a day of riding - the haciendas are super cool. Whatever level mountain biker you are, there is opportnity to learn and improve as well as conquer new types of terrain on this trip. A great mix of flowy trails, climbing, x-country/enduro and downhill riding made the terrain challenging and really enjoyable throughout the week. This is an awesome trip to experience many different parts of Ecuador, descend thousands of feet from some of the tallest mountains in the world - all with a world class crew. Thank you Christian, Daniel and Jose for making this such a memorable and amazing trip! See you soon, Matt
Thank you so much for your review!
We were very impressed by our Activexpedition tour, which included exploring the areas at the bases of iconic volcanoes such as Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. As cyclists with mostly road and cross-country experience, some of the downhill trails were a bit challenging, but it was a good mix of surfaces and our guide Oscar was very patient and supportive along the way. During the week-long tour, we enjoyed biking beneath the shadow of giant volcanoes (lucky enough to see the peaks!), through lush agricultural fields, past quaint villages and through cloud forests. Highlights were the animals along the way (mostly horses, sheep, cows, pigs, dogs and the occasional llama), fresh fruit at every meal, trails to ourselves (didn't encounter many other tourists), a fun variety of accomodations, and breathtaking views around every corner. Our guide Oscar and driver Jorge took very good care of us along the way and made sure that our experience was memorable and safe.
Thanks for your review, we hope you to see you soon in another adventure with Activexpedition.
What a trip! I can hardly think of a better way to take in the amazing Cordillera of Ecuador. The trails were just right, not too easy, not too hard, fun, great exercise (hello high altitude!) and truly breathtaking. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was great and our guide, Oscar, was world-class. Probably didn't hurt that we scored perfect weather the whole week too;) Ecuador is a very special place and I so look forward to exploring it more in the future. And, when I do find myself in Ecuador again, without hesitation I will make travel plans with ActivExpedition. And, in all honesty, even though I prefer to seek out new and different experiences, I would consider doing a repeat of this biking adventure - It was that enjoyable! Thank you, Oscar and Christian, keep up the great work! I hope to be calling upon you again soon.
One of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Oscar, was intelligent in all aspects (politics, flowers, astronomy, mountain biking, etc.) and very fun to be around! Cracking jokes and answering almost all my ridiculous questions. We biked around Ecuador’s volcanoes and forests during the day, stopping only to take in the beautiful sights or eat a delicious lunch, and at night we crashed in comfortable beds at luxurious hotels and bathed in hot tubs. I can think of no better way to explore Ecuador then getting to bike around its most beautiful sights at your own pace. Let alone with local guides. Truly a worthwhile experience that I highly recommend.
